What wheel size? Because you mentioned the riot I am assuming 26". Some options for you are:
Blk mrkt riot
Blk mrkt mob
NS suburban
NS majesty
Dobermann pinscher
NS traffic
There's more but thats all that immediatly springs to mind.

Cheapest would be the Traffic. I'd go for that. Heaviest out of the bunch but good enough. My frame weighed in at 5lbs and 13 oz. 3oz shy of 6lbs.

I would ride the P2 and see how you like it first. Even if it sucks it will at least give you a starting point, that way you can shop intelligently and figure out what dimensions and features you're looking for in a bike down the road. Blindly looking at bikes without knowing what you want is the equivalent of pulling names out of a hat.

i was leaning towards the riot because im pretty sure its a shorter frame..my p2 seems long and its hard to do 360's. i just need something light. i do alot of high bunny hops and manualing and from what iv read the riot fits my criteria

iv had the p2 for 2 years now and i ride all the time and i thought i would get used to it but its still kind of hard to throw it around

What size is your frame, the Riots come in different sizes. Probably to heavy for 360's right now so the bike is hard to spin. P2.s and 3's are some of the lightest frames out there man. Sub 5 lbs.

do you think it would be worth it to get a p2 in size small...mine just feels awkwardly long for some reason
